(The Dimarco Series Novella)

Author: Jennifer Hanks

Publication Date: February 27th, 2019

Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance

Book Description:

Introducing an exciting new series filled with suspense, sacrifice, family, and most of all, the healing power of love. Welcome to the Family…

One. Defining. Moment.

Kasey Moore is happy to be home. Moving to New Hope as a teenager hadn’t been easy, but once she settled in, she couldn’t imagine herself living anywhere else. After four years in College, she’s finally back to living in the town she loves and working her dream job as a teacher at the Elementary School.

For Kasey, her life couldn’t be more perfect.

Until a school assembly, an arrogant man, and a hot encounter in a closet shakes up everything Kasey thinks she wants.

Ten years as a Navy SEAL and Jackson Dimarco is coming home.

Ten years of rigid schedules, almost unreachable expectations, and being a part of something bigger than himself has changed him. Coming home, trying to find himself, the last thing Jax wants to do is talk to an auditorium full of school kids about his time in the military, but when his brother signs him up that’s exactly what he ends up doing.

And he meets someone who challenges him in a way nobody has in a very long time. He meets someone who inspires him to become more than who he’s settled for. He meets someone who makes him feel alive again.

It’s just a shame she doesn’t feel the same way.

But Jackson Dimarco has always loved a challenge and Kasey Moore is the biggest incentive he’s ever had to win.

This is a novella in The Dimarco Series. Can be read as a standalone and at any point in the series. However, if new to the series, I’d recommend reading this novella before the first book in the series, Lucy.

Genre: YA Contemporary Romance

Book Description:

Four p.m. spy sessions are the highlight of Mallory Taylor’s day. Observing the boy next door—one with a body and an attitude to match—has her perched beside her window so often it can't be healthy.

His rejection awakens a newfound tenacity and maybe even a touch of recklessness. But when Troy starts to show up when she needs him the most, Mallory can’t help but wonder if there’s more to him than he’s let on.

Taking chances, breaking rules, and following her heart is all new to Mallory. And no one warned her just how fickle hearts can be. When she discovers that Troy isn’t at all the guy she imagined him to be, secrets rise to the surface that will change her life forever.

MY REVIEW

After 5 years of swooning over the boy next door, Mallory Taylor finally gets the chance to interact with him up close after her overprotective parents agree to let her attend public school. Things don't get off to a good start, however, as her long time crush, Troy Parker, does not seem the least bit interested in getting to know her. With much persistence, Mallory eventually learns the real reason why Troy has kept his distance for all these years and why he's been holding a resentment towards her even though they've barely said a word to each other since he moved in next door. There's much more to Mallory Taylor than meets the eye, and it appeas Troy Parker knows more about her than she knows about herself.

The first quatre and the last quatre of the book captivated my attention, especially since the last few chapters threw the story in a completely different direction than I'd anticipated. Although the ending felt abrupt and rather rushed, I thought there was great potential in the plot as it finally added some significance to the characters' stories, and had it been executed with more precision and care, I might have ended up liking the story more.

For the most part, we are presented with very cliched characters and a predictable storyline. I didn't mind the cliches (I wasn't expecting much originality), but I find it hard to tolerate impassive characters. Mallory came off as rather vain and not much substance to her character, whereas Troy was just eye candy.

It was a good read, it just didn't blow my mind. Had the characters been more likable and not so bland, I would have enjoyed the story more.
